Get Set to Innovate With Apple in 2006

ADC resources help developers focus on the transition.

It's been a very busy year for Macintosh developers. The April release of Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger made it easy to deliver innovative functionality such as Spotlight, Dashboard, Core Image, Sync Services, and more to customers. Then in June, Apple announced plans to deliver Macintosh computers using Intel microprocessors.

To help developers prepare their applications to run on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs, ADC launched the Developer Transition Resource Center, an essential one-stop shop for the latest transition resources, including videos, technical articles, documentation, downloads, and more.

And with the November release of Xcode 2.2, all ADC members get free access to the latest version of this critical tool for creating universal binaries. Xcode 2.2 offers improved debugging features and powerful enhancements to the compiler, the build system, and the CodeWarrior project importer. Download it today.

ADC Reference Library Enhancements in 2005
In the past year, the ADC Reference Library added hundreds of new developer documents focused on Mac OS X Tiger and the transition to Intel-based Macs. New topic-specific Developer RSS Feeds make it possible for developers to get notified about the latest, most relevant documents as soon as they are published.

And it's now easier than ever to provide feedback on the documents you use. Replying to the “Did this document help you?” box at the bottom of each page lets us know instantly whether an ADC Reference Library resource meets your needs, and if not, how we can improve it.
